How News Reporting Has Changed in 117 Years

You'd never see a story worded like this in any of today's newspapers:
As August Beck, a respected citizen of Negaunee, was returning to his home from business, Monday evening Nov 10, he was met by a crowd of fiendish Finlanders, a number of which held him, while the balance drew knives and carved him, inflicting dangerous wounds in his breast and frightfully cutting his arms in numerous places. The murderous fiends left their victim in an unconscious state, and he was picked up by friends, who at once took him to hospital where he received medical attention. He will probably die. Hanging is too good for the inhuman perpetrators of this outrage.
